Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday evening

When Jessica walked into the common room and took a seat on the couch, she fully expected to turn the TV on and relax for one of the last weeknights before classes stated again. What she didn't expect was for a gremlin to burst into the room, doing something that could almost be called 'singing.' By the time Jessica deciphered the song as 'Pour Some Sugar on Me,' a second gremlin came into the room wearing what seemed to be a tiny slutty sailor costume. Then the costume started coming off piece by piece, in rhythm with the music.

"Ohmygodgremlinstripperno," Jessica said, diving over the couch and running to the kitchen to see if she could find anything to blind herself with before the gremlin got to its pants. Unable to find any dangerous chemicals or spoons quickly, she decided to go about this a different way. She found some paper plates and started hurling them like frisbees at the gremlins, hoping to scare them off or distract them from the exotic dancing. She was fine with either one.

[OOC: I'm bored, so I post. Open! I'm going to blame [livejournal.com profile] hoorayimrich for managing to inspire this somehow, but if I'm honest, she had no clue where I'd take this.]

"Use that to your advantage! If you're going to look, at least throw something to scare it away!" Jessica said, flinging a plate at least a foot above the gremlin and its pelvic thrusts.

Tony responded by throwing a remote at it. Because it was the closest thing that he could find. God help him. "What did you do to it?!"

"Why are you blaming me? I didn't cause this!" Jessica yelled.

"Then who did?" Tony snapped, getting up onto a chair in case it tried to come near him.

"I don't know! The one just came in and started singing and then the other one just started dancing and I don't know why!" Jessica complained. Or explained. Both.

Complainexplained. IT WAS A WORD NOW.

"Did the island do something wrong?"

"Clearly it did," Jessica said, pointing at the proof. "Absolutely. That is not supposed to happen in nature."

Tony nodded slowly, staring at it.

"...think we should put it on YouTube?"

NO, TONY. TONY, NO. NO.

"NO! What? No," Jessica said. "You probably have a good camera on your phone, though, right?" NO.

"It's Starktech." WHAT DO YOU THINK?

"I'm not going to say do it. I'm just going to say that I'm running out of plates," Jessica said. READ INTO THAT WHAT YOU WILL.

Well, Tony was already filming. "If this doesn't get a million hits, I think the internet is broken."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2013-01-04 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"If this thing does get a million hits, I'm weeping for humanity," Jessica countered.

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2013-01-04 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
"If the internet isn't broken, then humanity is doomed," Jessica said, realizing the truth of Tony's logic. "You really are smart, boss."

"Awww, you get a raise." Aren't you glad to work for Tony?

"Don't say that too loud. I don't want the gremlin asking for dollar bills," Jessica requested.

...oh god, it was already looking at them.

"We don't have money! Very poor!"

"Do you know if there are any Monopoly games somewhere in here? Maybe they'll take fake money to go away," Jessica hoped.

"...I'm not getting down to find any." FYI.

"...I can't blame you," Jessica said. "Way too many dangers there."

"I have a metro card?" Left over from his Christmas trip home to spend time with the Rhodes family.

"I say throw it to the gremlin. If that encourages it, we run," Jessica said.

Tony seemed to contemplate that. "But what if that just unleashes it on New York City? I'd be okay with Jersey, but..."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2013-01-04 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
"We're talking about your New York, right?" Jessica asked. It was not a serious question.
